The original chapter of Haircut One Hundred beamed briefy yet brightly

They achieved the kind of success that they could have only dreamed of: four UK Top 
10 hits, all of which were defnitive '80s classics - 'Love Plus One', 'Fantastic Day', 
'Favourite Shirts (Boys Meets Girl)' and 'Nobody's Fool' - followed by a debut album, 
'Pelican West', which peaked at #2 during an eleven week run in the Top 10, in the 
process reaching Platinum status.

That was 42 years ago. But now after a lengthy absence, Haircut One Hundred are 
back: fuelled by the power of friendship, a love of adventure, and the simple joy of 
seeing wherever their unexpected next chapter will take them. Their return now 
gathers pace after releasing their frst new music in 40 years with the new single 'The 
Unloving Plum'. Ahead of more new music and an album in 2025.

'The Unloving Plum' sparkles with the exuberant joy of a band loving what they do. The 
joyous, brass-assisted, instantly unforgettable pop that they're best known for is still 
their most compelling trait, but it's a natural evolution that takes in touches of jangly, 
Beatles-esque pop and an anthemic Britpop-favoured power. While vocalist/guitarist 
Nick Heyward explains what it means to him, it also speaks to the universal 
experience of something great in life emerging from what you initially thought was the 
worst possible outcome.
